Finally got some news at 6.45pm, he was taken to recovery and it seemed the op went well, an hour and a half later we were taken upstairs to the High Dependancy ward. He has lost so much blood that they want to keep a close eye on him overnight. They are also making sure his heart has not been dmamaged as he lost so much blood. I will phone them in the morning to see how he is and hopefully they will tell me if he is getting moved tomorrow (will be to the Plastics ward (48)). Andy, I think tomorrow will be a bit soon, but maybe on Thurs? I have you're number and I also have Alans phone should anyone wish to contact me and don't have my number. I think from now on we will be 'getting a mannie in' and I'l be throwing that angle grinder in the bin tomorrow!!
Anyway, The Dr there told us they had repaired his artery (using a bit of his vein in his right leg), they had also repaired the nerves that were damaged and he also damaged among other tissue and muscles, his bicep, which were all fixed back together again. When we got to see him, he was very drowsy and nauseous with the morphine/anesthesea etc....
He was getting a little frustrated (in his own angry way
) with his oxygen mask, his bed not set up to his liking, and that he somehow had a bandage on his leg when he didn't even cut his leg!!! But he was moving his fingers in his hand and he had feeling in his hand, which is great. His lower arm is sliced open for now as they dont want the pressure building up in his arm, so will hopefully be going to get it stitched up on Wed. We eventually left the hospital at half 9, 7 and a half hours after I arrived.At this point, I owe all my love and thanks in the world to Ali C and Nicola who have been there for me all day. From as soon as I arrived in the hospital, Nic came to be with me, she made me eat and drink, and listen to me rambling on and stayed with me even after Alans folks arrived. Then she and Ali went to my house and sorted out the cats and cleaned my house for me (no easy task when the housework hadn't been done in days, dirty washing lying around and the hallway a bloodbath). I really am lucky to not only still have a husband after such a horrific accident, but to have friends as amazing as them. I owe them big style.
Thank you so much Ali and Nicola.
Im off to try and get some sleep, I still cant get the images of him lying on the floor turing pale, with blood sprouting everywhere, and his screaming out of my head. Sleeping pills for me tonight I think!!
Will update again once I find out any more info.
Thanks again everyone, it really means a lot to me.

Im actaully amazed I coped so well, didnt faint, did everything the paramedics and 999 asked, and remained (mostly) calm, except when I had a bout of tears every couple of minutes! It seemed like I was on the phone for an hour when it was only 20 minutes, bloomin roadworks and traffic!! Its amazing that people still block the road when an ambulance is behind with sirens on and tooting the horn as well!! The driver and the paramedic and I were shouting at them all to move!!
